Lawn" and The Minstrel Boy. 'are both
pretty pictures of life in Ireland, and

c. ANDREWS michael Strogoff'
company will occupy the Grand the first
half of this week and ROLAND REED
the latter part. The melo-drama of
michael StrogOff'' is no stranger to
ST. Paul theater-goers. 1t was seen
here last season and its production
gave perfect satisfaction. The play
has an interesting plot and
is full of strong dramatic
action. Like all of JULES VERNE'S
creations it is romance wild and i'm
probable, yet it is so full of genuine
traits of human nature mingled with
the fanciful that a seeming realism per-
vades the whole performance. Mr.. An
DREws has equipped his play this sea-
son with new and elaborate scenery,
and claims to have the strongest COM
pany that he has ever put on the road.
The title role is sustained by HAROLD
LINsoN. whose physique and voice well
fit him for heroic parts. Miss FLORINE
ARNOLD is leading lady in the support
and Mile. ELOIsE is ballet premier.
